Winery Tasting Notes

Colour

Deep, dense purple-crimson with a dark garnet core.

Aroma

Blackberry, blackcurrant and dark plum are layered with liquorice, dried herbs, sage, mocha and subtle roasted-meat savouriness.

Palate

Powerful and richly textured, with concentrated dark berries, tar, dark chocolate and spice framed by firm, finely grained tannins. There’s a lovely savoury depth and graphite character underneath the fruit, finishing long with lingering spice and blackberry. From Elderton’s famous old Command vineyard, this is classic Barossa Shiraz—serious, full-bodied and beautifully built for the cellar.

Winery Profile

Elderton Wines is a small, family owned and operated winery, situated in the heart of the Barossa Valley. The Elderton vineyard, which was planted in 1894 by the Scholz family, was purchased by the Ashmead family in the late 1970's and started producing labelled bottled estate wine from the 1982 harvest.

It was well after a decade of hard work and toil that the winery shot to prominence in the early 1990's, after winning the prestigious Jimmy Watson Trophy at the 1993 Melbourne Wine Show. There has been an amazing amount of further wine show success including the World’s Best Shiraz Trophy at the 2000 London International Wine & Spirits Competition. Elderton has also enjoyed being the darling of the worlds wine press, with great endorsements given by James Halliday, Robert Parker, The Wine Spectator Magazine as well as countless others. Furthermore, in 2005, Elderton was named in the Top 100 Wineries in the World by Wine & Spirit Magazine.

The real strength behind the Elderton success is the ancient 72 acre Barossa Floor Vineyard, which produces fruit of the highest quality year in year out. Each block on the property is cherished but the two standouts are the Command Shiraz block (planted 1894) and the Ashmead Cabernet Sauvignon block (planted 1944).

The wines of Elderton are enjoyed worldwide for their amazing qualities which come through from varietal character, regional definition and the unique and robust personalities of the Elderton team. In 2011, Elderton celebrated its 30th vintage as a winery and the Ashmeads still believe that the best is yet to come.
